Elderly woman in Arlanda baggage belt mix up - The Local
A 78-year-old woman who was planning to fly to Germany from Stockholm’s Arlanda airport found herself taking an unexpected trip on Tuesday.
The woman misheard instructions from airport personnel, who directed her to an unmanned baggage conveyor belt after she had checked in.
Rather than placing her bags on the conveyor belt, she instead hopped on the belt herself, at which point she was whisked away to the baggage handling area, writes the Upsala Nya Tidning newspaper.
